16

50
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: So look first you take your bread. Damn, take your bread,

51
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: and you put it in the toaster. Now when you

52
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: now this is key. When you put it in the toaster,

53
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: you don't just drop it in the toaster. No, you

54
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: place it in the toaster. Show your bread some love,

55
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. You make this dish with love.

56
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: It's like dropping your baby off at school. You don't

57
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 2: just you say hey, and you know what I mean.

58
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: Then you set the toaster for it's good. Depending on

59
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: how you like your toast. No, I mean, if you

60
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 2: want some light skin toast, you go a little more

61
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: that way. You want some dark skinned toast, you go

62
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: a little more that way. You know what I mean.

63
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: Right now we are that's right in the middle.

64
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: The comedy's already started.

65
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: I mean, so we're right in the middle. You know

66
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: what I mean on the colorism of the toast. Now,

67
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: everybody has a different method when it comes to pushing

68
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 2: the toast. To me, I like to use these two fingers.

69
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: This is my toaster fingers, you know what I mean.

70
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: So then when you take these fingers.

71
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for all your listeners out there just wanting

72
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: to hear his backstory.

73
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: And you toast that, and you just let that happen.

74
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: You let that toast happen. That when the toast is toasted,

75
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: that's when you are anticipating. You feel me. You're getting

76
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: excited about what's about to happen. You know what I'm saying,

77
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: because oh, this is about to be fantastic. Now if

78
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: you can eat this without the bread being toasted, but

79
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: then it ain't the same.

80
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine anything without bread toasted, because.

81
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: You shouldn't imagine that. That's something you shouldn't imagine. You

82
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: got it. If it ain't toasted, it ain't the same.

83
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: Have you ever done it toasted?

84
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely not.

85
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds absolutely not.

86
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: No, I would never. I don't even so I used to.

87
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, this is real to be going back to

88
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: the origins.

89
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: Yes, that was what I was about to ask you.

90
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: We're going back to the origins of being broke when

91
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: you I got grew up in a house. I had

92
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: two siblings. I'm in the middle. Yeah, I'm the favorite.

93
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: You got to feed three children, and so it's a

94
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: lot of bulk stuff, bread, cereal, snacks, big like just

95
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: filling things. Right, should have a lot of bread because

96
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: bread is cheap, and you can get a good amount

97
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: of bread and you make the sandwiches and all of that,

98
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: and then sometimes you might run out of meat for

99
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: the sandwich, the cheese or whatever. So now you gotta

100
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 2: get a different kind of creative when it comes. We

101
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: got all this bread, what we're gonna do with it?

102
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? So I used to eat

103
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: bread balls. You ever had a bread ball? You want

104
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: to try one?

105
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm down to try bread ball. Okay, No, never mind.

106
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: I think I know what you're gonna do.

107
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do anything. You're gonna do it. It's

108
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,440

144
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: the two parent household but we had our issue.

145
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: And they had a really good marriage too.

146
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: No, they did not. They had a very interesting relationship.

147
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: They still married.

00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,359

Speaker 1: So your parents separated at what age.

152
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 2: I was grown? So my dad was around when I

153
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: was really small, and then something happened and they got

154
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 2: into something, and then he left and he came back,

155
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: probably when I was around ten something like that. He

156
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: was back for maybe a few months. They got married.

157
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: They got married right back, and then they stayed married

158
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,440

Speaker 2: at that time, especially too, it was like staying in

172
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,119

Speaker 2: allowed to ask questions, and.

174
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,800

00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: I was just grateful for the time, grateful for this.

Speaker 2: to see them together in the whatever capacity that was.

182
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: And then when they broke up, I was happy that

183
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: they did that because I understood that it didn't make

184
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: sense to be together. I was watching it. You ever

185

197
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: That's how you That's how I knew that was supposed

Speaker 2: really like they would argue over things, that's what.

199
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: You like, over how much butter to put on this

200
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: hot toast.

201
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna tell you. Now, I'm gonna show y'all

202
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: this is real. Back back to the basics. So first off,

203
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: she handed me a butter knife to spread the butter

204
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: on the toast. First mistake. This is how you gotta

205
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: do this.

206
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: You gotta take it's already melted by the way.

207
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: You gotta take this just like this, okay, or it

208
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: ain't right.

209
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: Okay.

210
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: The butter knife makes it not official. You take the

211
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: bread and you take the butter, and you spread it

212
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: just like that. That's how you gotta do it. You

213
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: see that. You see what you oh man? Then you

214
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 2: take the butter night and you clean up your mess

215
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 2: and you put that over there because they fanted.

216
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: They brought melted butter.

217
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: All right, let me tell you something. They go all

218
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 2: out at eating with broke. But this is going back

219
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: to when you was broke, so you couldn't melt the butter.

220
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: You have to just let the butter sit out and

221
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 2: hope it melted and put it in the sun or something.

222
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 2: So then boom, that's how we did it. Like that.

223
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 2: You spread the butter on it just like that. It

224
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,119
Speaker 2: looks like exactly exactly. Boom.

225
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: All right, cool, Now we got the butter.

237
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: cinnamon before the sugar because the cinnamon holds the sugar.

238
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: Everybody know that. Oh nope, okay, boom. Then you take

239
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:22,120

291
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:25,120

00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,640

00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: need some chores, you know what.

300
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: home and pie in a bit. So I used to

301
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: imitate my pastor. I come from. My pastors were animated,

302
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: So I used to be at the house and I

303
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: would just imitate him to my mom and my sister's joking.

304
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: At this point, my brother had already left for college,

305
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 2: but I would just be imitating him, just joking around

306
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: and my sister my mom would laugh, and that was

307
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: enough for me. And then my mom at the time,

308
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 2: she was over the church anniversary. She would put the

309
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 2: programs together for the anniversaries. She said, I'm gonna have

310
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 2: you do that at the church. I'm not doing that

311
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 2: at the church, you know what I mean. No, And

312
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: then so at the anniversary, she put me. I didn't

313
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: know she put me on on the program. So then

314
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: she say, whoever, I don't remember who was am seeing

315
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: the event that night, but they she say like this,

316
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: they say, and next up we got brother Lance. That's

317
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 2: how it because I wasn't I wasn't like, I wasn't

318
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: talking to you if I wasn't like the life of

319
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: the party. I was really like quiet, real quiet, you

320
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: know what I mean. So when they read they was

321
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: everybody was like because they didn't even say what I

322
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: was doing. It was just that I was coming to

323
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: the stage. So I go up and all I remember

324
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: is the first thing I said was you'all know how

325
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: pastor be on Sunday? And then I just went into it.

326
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: And when I tell you, everybody in the church was

327
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: like hollering, like my pastor was like on the floor

328
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: with real tears coming out of like it was real tears,

329
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Somebody jumped up, running and

330
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: rant like it was a fire, Like it was insane.

331
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 2: And that was the first time I had ever done

332
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 2: anything like that on a stage. I wasn't thinking I

333
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: was going to be a comedian at the time. Yeah,

334
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: I just thought that was fun.

335
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: Now was that? Did that then? Lights some kind of

336
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: spark an you right there?

337
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: It did, But I didn't know how to go from

338
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: that to a comedian.

339
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: What did your mom say after that performance?

340
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: She was like, oh my god, that was so funny.

341
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: She was like you was like, there's some wrong with

342
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: you boy. She was just kind of like that. But

343
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: I started comedy before Instagram. There was no Instagram. I

344
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: don't remember if I think YouTube was out, but it

345
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: wasn't like it is now.

346
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

347
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: My point of saying, this is the only and I

348
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: didn't grow up in LA or New York. I grew

349
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: up in Sacramento, So you didn't you only see comedians

350
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: on TV. Like I think it's somebody's like they want

351
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: to start comedy now, they'll go on Instagram and they

352
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 2: got all of these examples of comedians or people who

353
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: are doing humorous things. But like, oh, I can do that,

354
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: But that's not how it was. This was when I

355
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: did that at the church. That was probably two thousand

356
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 2: and six, maybe or something like that, two thousand and five.

357
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: I started comedy in ten, twenty eleven, when I first

358
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: started getting on stage, you know what I mean. So

359
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 2: this was eight years earlier or something like that, six

360
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: years or something like that. Yeah, I didn't know. I

361
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: just knew that was real cool.

362
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: And did you start gravitating towards watching comedy tapes?

363
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: Though? I always did I start. I think I probably

364
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: started watching more, but I always grew up watching comedy.

365
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: Okay, So take me to the first time where you

366
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: start to pursue comedy.

367
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: Okay. So it goes back to the church. If so

368
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: much of my story is rooted in the church, That's

369
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 2: something I'm real grateful for. Because my church, my pastor

370
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 2: would try to nurture gifts. If he's seeing you had

371
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 2: a gift, he would try to create things or nurture

372
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: it to to help get you to where you can

373
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 2: get to. Oh, I do the thing at the church.

374
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 2: So now going forward, every time there was an event

375
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 2: at the church, they would just ask me to do something.

376
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: Can you just host it? Like something?

377
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: Just so you went from the kid that they were

378
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: like super quiet, So now this is the kid they

379
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: want to mc.

380
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: That's worse than this. So I used to do the

381
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: sound at the church. Wow, Like I used to because

382
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 2: I always knew this was always knew I was supposed

383
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: to be a star. I always knew I was supposed

384
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: to be someone impactful, but I ran from it. I

385
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 2: used to always try to be behind the scenes. So

386
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: instead of doing I would say, I do the sound,

387
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: I do the I'll do the I would hold the camera,

388
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 2: but I got real bad vision. I got contacts in.

389
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 2: But if I took my contacts out, yeah.

390
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: I'll be holding up three fingers that you say you

391
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: ain't see nothing.

392
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I was, you'd be my color. If I

393
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 2: took my contacts out, it's bad. But I never wore glasses.

394
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 2: I just used to thug it out. I didn't wear

395
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 2: contacts back then either. I just used to just walk

396
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 2: around blind. So I used to be doing the sound

397
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: at the church, but I couldn't really see. So the

398
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 2: pastor would be like telling me to turn stuff up,

399
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 2: and I'm just looking and he's like, yeah, I'm like

400
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: thumbs out. I am doing a good job. It was bad.

401
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: I hold I did somebody's wedding and I was holding

402
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 2: the camera, but I was all over the place because

403
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 2: it was bad. I was just trying to do all

404
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: these things, just running from my gift right back to

405
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 2: the church. So he would do these things like host

406
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 2: this event. We're doing this, can you host it? So

407
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: then he created this first Friday's event. It was like

408
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: a talent show, like people come through and I was

409
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: hosting that and that was another time where I just

410
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: got to just be on It was just me really

411
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: being on stage in front of people, figuring that out,

412
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 2: getting comfortable with that. So now fast forward, we're going

413
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 2: into New Year's Eve, going into the year twenty ten.

414
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 2: Now a lot of churches have services on New Year's

415
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 2: Eve to go and you don't got to be out

416
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 2: there in the streets for New Years. You can come

417
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: bring the new year in with the law. Yes, when

418
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: I get your years started in the House of the

419
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 2: Lord like that right. So then my pastor's son, Ishmael

420
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 2: called me. He said, hey, can you do some comedy

421
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: at the New Year's event?

422
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, how did it go?

423
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: It went great. But this was my first time ever

424
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 2: writing jokes. Everything I did before that was me making

425
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: fun of people at the church, are imitating people that

426
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 2: This was the first time I wrote jokes that had

427
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: nothing to do.

428
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: With the church, and it had to be PG too.

429
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 2: For sure. Yeah. Yeah, but my church wasn't PG. Never mind,

430
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 2: that's another story. Listen, we're not gonna talk about that

431
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: right now.

432
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: So you wrote these jokes and that they landed.

433
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: They landed very well. These jokes. I don't do them now,

434
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 2: but I could if I think back to the jokes.

435
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 2: I was always good writing, always understood jokes. I understood

436
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: what a punch sign was supposed to be. I understood.

437
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: I just I had a good understanding of jokes. That

438
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,479
Speaker 2: was the first time I wrote jokes that was just

439
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 2: like this, I'm not gonna I don't want to. I

440
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: don't want to tell jokes about sister, her or brother.

441
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 2: I just want to write jokes. So that was that.

442
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: That went, well, that's November going, and how.

443
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: Old are you at that time?

444
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty two, twenty three, okay, okay, twenty two. Yeah,

445
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 2: so then that's going into the new year. Now, this

446
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 2: was this is crazy. My church is directly across the

447
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: street from a comedy club.

448
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: Oh, the signs are lining up for you very directly, like.

449
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: This, What is up with this?

450
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: Mic is not feeling you today? I don't know what

451
00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: is up with it?

452
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it happens But the same way with this is

453
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 2: how close to like walk across the street and you're

454
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 2: at the comedy club. But I never knew that because

455
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 2: I never knew what a comedy club was.

456
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: So at some point you acknowledge this comedy club.

457
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: I acknowledged the comedy club.

458
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: Is this the first club you actually go into as ever?

459
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: Stand up?

460
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 2: Ever?

461
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: And then how did you do over there? You want

462
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: the full story, I want the story where you bombed.

463
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 2: That story didn't happen for a while. Wow. Yeah, the

464
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: bomb story happened for sure, but it didn't happen at

465
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: that point.

466
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: Now, so you do you start doing comedy in this club?

467
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: Do you stay at this club for a long time

468
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: before you sit in?

469
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 2: You know this the Sacramento punchline. So I go there

535
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,600

536
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 2: by the time it's seven point fifty five, the club

537
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,080

00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 2: see me, which is sixty people. Sixty people. Yeah, oh yeah,

539

540
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 2: no better, you know what I mean? This is my

541
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: first introduction into show business. I didn't know. I had

542
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 2: just sold a bunch of tickets and people came to

543
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 2: see me, and your hands are tied at this point.

544
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 2: So then at seven fifty five he said, okay, you

545
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: got five minutes. You're going up first. Jesus, I said, okay,

546
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: I didn't even know I was supposed to be nervous

547
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 2: to go first. Yeah, you know what I mean. I

548
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 2: was so like angry because I had a bad temper.

549
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 2: It's better now, but especially at that time, I was

550
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: real like short. So I'm angry because how you talking

551
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 2: to me? You know what I mean? And I didn't

552
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,239
Speaker 2: tell nobody who came to see me what was going on,

553
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 2: because then it would have been a group problem. Yeah,

554
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: I mean, so I'm trying to just be chill. And

555
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: so then he come back to me eight o'clock he said, okay,

556
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: you're going up third first, he said the first thing.

557
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 2: He said, you're going third. So then there's a host,

558
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,239
Speaker 2: two comics, and then me the comic that goes on

559
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: before me. He was probably on stage for seven minutes.

560
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody smiled, not a smile. Yeah, And

561
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 2: that made me more angry because it's do better, and

562
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: I gotta fight for five minutes and he just get

563
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: to go on with No, he ain't put on no fight,

564
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 2: and you let this have it. So I go on stage.

565
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 2: It went really well. It went really well my first time,

566
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 2: but like it was, the jokes I were telling were funny.

567
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 2: I wasn't a great performance my first time at a

568
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: comedy club, but I still remember the jokes I told.

569
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 2: I remember like they were quality jokes for my first time.

570
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: And then from then do you just start to meet

571
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: the comics and go places and figure out stuff and oh,

572
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 2: this guy has a room over here, and this guy

573
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 2: has a room over here. Now if you want to

574
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: hear the bomb, go ahead.

575
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: No, I don't want to hear the bomb. So you

576
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: so after that club, you do well? Do you start

577
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: to now understand the process of going after a certain

578
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: title in the club and pitching yourself.

579
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 2: No, I still don't see this is what I thought.

580
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 2: I thought it went well, and I was like, so,

581
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: am I supposed to wait for HBO to call? Or

582
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 2: do I need to send them the tape from tonight

583
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: because clearly they need to know who I am. Did

584
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: y'all see what I just did? Yeah, that's how I'm thinking.

585
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: I didn't know how none of this stuff works. Yeah,

586
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 2: so I'm like, oh not Yeah, Chris Rocket is funny,

587
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: but I was funny too, So clearly we should be

588
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 2: working together. That's how they're supposed to work. What are

589
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 2: we talking about? So I was just I didn't know.

590
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 2: I didn't know, Like I ain't know. I was at

591
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 2: that point, I'm real like just inquisitive, like I'm trying

592
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: to figure out what am I supposed to be doing

593
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: because I don't know nothing?

594
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: So who are you going to find out? What's your

595
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: next play?

596
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: The comics I met that night. I remember one comics

597
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: is friend of mine still, his name is Miles Weber.

598
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 2: I was like, yo, how do you make money doing this?

599
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 2: And he was like, hell if I know?

600
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: Like that was like, how long do you think? How

601
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: long was your struggle for at least not making money?

602
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 2: Not making money? My first time on stage that was

603
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 2: June second. The next year, November second was my last

604
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 2: day work on a day job.

605
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: Oh so within a year you were able to fully

606
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: support yourself off comedy.

607
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 2: I was able to figure it out. I wouldn't say fully, no, yeah, yes,

608
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: fully supported myself. I had to change some things. I

609
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 2: had to learn how to manage my money different. Yeah,

610
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 2: I had to learn what not to do. Okay, maybe

611
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 2: I don't need that. Do I really need cable? I

612
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 2: don't think.

613
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: So I really started living on a budget.

614
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: Started living on a budget, you know what I mean,

615
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: start dating lesser women. But you just have to change it.

616
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 2: You gotta change some things up. I mean, look, so

617
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 2: you're not in a budget.

618
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: That's hilarious. Did you start dating women that had more

619
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: money too?

620
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

621
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: Yeah?

622
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

623
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: Did you really?

624
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

625
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: Okay?

626
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

627
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: Did that help you at some point in your journey?

628
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not like that. It was what really helped

629
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 2: was I learned how much stuff I don't need. Yeah,

630
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 2: Like I just learned. Like what I realized is the

631
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 2: thing that we get caught up in is we when

632
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: we make money, everything we call everything we get cost

633
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: like constant money. So it's like I haven't had a

634
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 2: card since my first car. I've never had another car.

635
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: Really no, I'm like very highly, I'm a car no queen. Yeah,

636
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: and every time I'm about to tire, I'm like, nope,

637
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: put me in.

638
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah another one. Yeah, But that's how the cycle work.

639
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 2: So I'm like people pay bills on iPhones like they

640
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: want the new phone. So then they add yeah, yeah,

641
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 2: and it's know. If I'm going to get the new phone,

642
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: just go buy it. If I can't afford it, then

643
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: I don't have it.

644
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: Smart you live within your means, which is a good,

645
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: very good thing. I can't imagine Sacramento and correct me

646
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. You get to go up that many

647
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: nights or the times in one night?

648
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: Why not? All right, So I'll tell you this story.

649
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 2: I'm trying to find comedy clubs and things now at

650
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: this point in my head, you can never tell the

651
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: same joke twice. This is what I believe. So I thought,

652
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 2: once you told that joke, you got to tell new jokes.

653
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: So every time.

654
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: I'm running at a different speed.

655
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: I didn't know. And at that point I was just

656
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: so excited. Everything I thought was fun I wrote everything

657
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: I thought was funny. If I just wrote it all down,

658
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna try it on stage.

659
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: But how many clubs are you averaging a night in Sacramento?

660
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: So that that's what I was gonna tell you, But

661
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: I'll speed through it. When I was really getting good,

662
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 2: I was on stage at a minimum twelve times.

663
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: A week, twelve times a week. Yeah, in Sacramento they

664
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: have that many clubs you can get up that. How

665
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: what's the distance between the clubs though, all within already

666
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: thirty miles that's pretty so like almost thirty minutes apart

667
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: or within. Yeah, so what because I'm saying this because

668
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: if you're a comic in New York, you can get

669
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: reps up that right, most of your comedy. The more

670
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: reps you do, the better you get, right, even though

671
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: you're writing new material on the regular. Clearly, I'm just

672
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: trying to figure out for you to at least maintain

673
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: yourself how much repping you're doing to get to the

674
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: point where you're semi sustainable within a year.

675
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: So that's what it was. It was. There was three

676
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: comedy clubs, like Major Club. You had the Punchline, You

677
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: had Tommy T's, and then you had Laps Unlimited. Tommy

678
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 2: T's has since shut the one that Sacramento has, but

679
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 2: Punchline and Laps Unlimited are still there. So those were

680
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: the three clubs. Then you had there's a spot called

681
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: the Touch of Class, like a black Spy. It's like

682
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 2: it's like a nationally known amongst comics. This was like

683
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 2: a spywork. Every black comic had came through at some point.

684
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you ever seen Kevin Hart

685
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: Heart of the City. He shot at a Touch of Class.

686
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 2: The first episode ever was shot in Sacramento. Touch a Class.

687
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,479
Speaker 2: So that was on Sundays. But then there was another

688
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 2: spot called on the Y, a little bar they did comedy.

689
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 2: You did that, so I would go to And then

690
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 2: there was a spot called the Comedy Spot. They did

691
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 2: mostly improv, but they did stand up too, so I

692
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 2: would go, Okay, on Sunday, I could hit the comedy spot,

693
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 2: I could hit on the Y, and I hit the

694
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 2: Touch of Class.

695
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: Got it?

696
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 2: So that's three on Sunday.

697
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: So how long did you work a Sacramento for a

698
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: year or did you When did you start to say

699
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to move out of the Sacramento zone.

700
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 2: To start you mean to start to travel outside of

701
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 2: Sack to the shows.

702
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: Do you still live in Sacramento? You live in La.

706
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 2: But I've been coming to La so long.

707
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like, what I'm trying. What I'm trying

708
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: to get a lay of the land, because got twenty

709
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: more minutes. Is I want to see, like how long

710
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: it took for you to get that consistency and what

711
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: markets did you have to work to get that consistency up?

712
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 2: When I the first thing, there's a guy, one of

713
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: the first not one of the first guys whoever took

714
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 2: me on the road, named Daniel Dugar. I bury you

715
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: and he was like, Yo, you gotta go to grow,

716
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 2: You got to go to grow. So then he had

717
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 2: gave me his number one time. And I'm not the

718
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 2: best at calling people. I had somebody's number and I

719
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 2: just want to use I'll be trying to get better

720
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 2: at that. So I remember I called him one day

721
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 2: and I was like, Yo, what should I be doing there?

722
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 2: How can I do this? And then he's big on

723
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 2: like wardrobe. He's like a real sharp he always with

724
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: his suits. He was like, man, your wardrobe is important.

725
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 2: He talk. So then me and him we just went shopping.

726
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,719
Speaker 2: He's just like, yo, let's just go shopping, bro. Just

727
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 2: so I started wearing suits and all that. That wasn't

728
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 2: really my thing, but it was just something. But he

729
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 2: was like, Yo, why don't you start. You can come.

730
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: I got these shows. You can come on the road.

731
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: There's these things called triple runs that's on the West coast,

732
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 2: and it'll be like I'm talking about all of these

733
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 2: small little Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington state, and you get

734
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 2: in a car and just drive to all of these spots.

735
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 2: But just like this show might pay three hundred, this

736
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 2: one might pay one fifty, this one might pay five.

737
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 2: And then so you do that for a week and

738
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 2: you might come home with a thousand dollars. If you

739
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 2: got some merchandise, you might come home with two thousand,

740
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred, whatever the case is. Right, So that I

741
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 2: started to do that, Okay, I would just get in

742
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 2: the car and just drive, okay, and just go pick

743
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 2: up nine hund here, three hundred here, one point fifty here,

744
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 2: sometimes get a room time, sleep in the car. Just really.

745
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 2: But I was having the most fun because I was

746
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 2: doing I wanted to do. So if I got a

747
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 2: drive thirteen dollars, I don't mind, because I'm finna go

748

00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: Before he gave you the role, did you ever entertain

794
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: the idea of acting for sure.

795
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 2: I never entertained the idea, but I've never done any

796
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: of the steps that would show that.

797
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: And you didn't go to acting school.

798
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 2: I did none of those things. I did none of

799
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 2: those things. But it was like, that's how it came

800
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,240
Speaker 2: to me. And this was like this movie was like Starr, Mario,

801
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 2: ven People's and Glenn Plumbers and it was like, I'm

802
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 2: with seasoned actors.

803
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: Now did you like the whole experience?

804
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Acting. Acting is a it's a different sport. It's

805
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 2: like a totally different sport. But I love acting because

806
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 2: you get to be someone that's not yourself, you know

807
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: what I mean. You get to disappear into something else.

808
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 2: It's a different it's a different muscle, Like you challenge

809
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 2: yourself differently, you know what I mean. You read the

810
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 2: part and you got to say, Okay, what would the

811
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 2: character do? Not? What would I do? What would I

812
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 2: how would he say this? Yeah? Yeah, you know what

813
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 2: I mean.

814
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: Now, now that you've experienced both sports, which one do

815
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: you like more?

816
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 2: Still?

817
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: Comedy?

818
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: Comedy? Yeah, I got you got more control over the comedy.

819
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 2: This is I love acting, though I'm getting more into

820
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 2: the acting space now because I'm first off I'm a

821
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 2: comic first, I'm a comedian.

822
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: So everything you're very funny, by the way, extremely funny.

823
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 2: I appreciate you, thank you. But everything I do to

824
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 2: bring you to my comedy, you know what I mean?

825
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 2: So I can go do one hundred movies. My goal,

826
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 2: one of my main goals is for you to now

827
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 2: come see me do comedy. Right. So it's like Denzel

828
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 2: just said, he just said, a theater is an actors medium.

829
00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 2: Film is a director's medium. The stage is a comedians medium.

830
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. So no matter what I

831
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 2: do in front of the camera, they might take it

832
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 2: and edit it different and that's not what I did.

833
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 2: But that's what they're supposed to do. This is their thing.

834
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 2: But the stage is my thing. This is how This

835
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 2: is the purest of my thoughts and how I can

836
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 2: break it down. This is without the edit, without the cut.

837
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: This is how I feel. I said it, you know

838
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 2: what I mean. So, yeah, comedy, comedy always be first.

839
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,919
Speaker 2: You never say always, but I feel comfortable saying what.

840
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: Would you say is the downside of being in this industry?

841
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: You've been in it for over twenty years, i'd imagine,

842
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: or almost twenty almost thirteen thirteen, yeah, thirteen.

843
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 2: Fourteen, my bad, fourteen fourteen years.

844
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, what would you say is the downside of it?

845
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: If you could say there.

846
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, like to say a downside, I'll say it affects

847
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 2: relationships for sure.

848
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: But give me like a romantic relationship all of them?

849
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 2: But yeah, for sure, all of them, all of them.

850
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: Why do you say all of them.

851
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 2: You missed so much?

852
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: Do you have children?

853
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: No, I'll be pulling out, but saying why I pulled

854
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 2: this out to toast. You got to you got to

855
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 2: get in the pot of there and.

856
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: Now, okay, he's got a strong pull out game.

857
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 2: You want to eat this sentiment, you got to pull

858
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 2: it out, you know what I mean?

859
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: Always wrap it up to guys, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

860
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 2: If you wrap it up. Do you really believe that?

861
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: So it'd be affecting all relationships as a family members

862
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,919
Speaker 1: because you said all relationships or relationships.

863
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: Just I can't. I missed all the birthday parties. They

864
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 2: do it on the weekend on the road, you know

865
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 2: what I mean. So it's but I think even that

866
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 2: can change later. It is because I've been on the

867
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 2: road consistently now six years.

868
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: Was mastering online social media tough for you.

869
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I've mastered it.

870
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: But but you're Your following is pretty good though, So

871
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: it looks like you're starting to get a hang of

872
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: the algorithms.

873
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 2: The following is growing up. I understand how to be

874
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 2: funny on the internet, which is different.

875
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: It's a different type of comedy.

876
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 2: Stage, which is different than being funny here. Everything is

877
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 2: a different kind of thing to be funny. But I

878
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 2: will say online, I think I need to grow my

879
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 2: YouTube page. I need to get some long form content. Damn.

880
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 2: And I got probably got like eight thousand YouTube subscribers.

881
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 2: That's still pretty good without ever trying. Yeah, I've never

882
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 2: tried to build a page.

883
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: Why do you feel it's important to build a YouTube

884
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: page though?

885
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 2: Because I feel like everybody in the world uses YouTube?

886
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: Do you think that?

887
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 2: And then from the babies to the eldest, does.

888
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: The social media play a role into how much you

889
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: get paid?

890
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 2: Now? Absolutely, that's it's the new television. It's like the

891
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 2: last star that was comedian who was like from a movie,

892
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 2: do you know what I mean?

893
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. What do you think of

894
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: these like comics like Matt Rife, that's.

895
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 2: My friend that's my guy. I love that guy. Yeah.

896
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 1: It at that, then I'm not gonna say nothing past it.

897
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 2: Matt, MAT's hilarious.

898
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: I think you think he's funny.

899
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 2: Man's hilarious. This is what I believe. I believe that

900
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 2: the way people discover you sometimes is how they're always

901
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 2: gonna hold you. Matt's been doing comedy for years. Yeah.

902
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 2: I think Matt was starting fourteen years old. He wasn't

903
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 2: doing quote unquote crowd work. He was doing the setup,

904
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 2: primise punts, and he was doing the jokes. He got

905
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 2: famous from the crowd work.

906
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. So then I heard about that.

907
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. So then if that's how you've seen him, you're like, oh,

908
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 2: he's just the crowworker.

909
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: Didn't you do it? Didn't he release a special just

910
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: on CrowdWork too? At some point he did.

911
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 2: He's release two or three of them like that. Yeah,

912
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 2: he has one on Netflix that's crowd work.

913
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I think I've seen that.

914
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. But it's it's like the ability to create and

915
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 2: find your way. This is the hardest thing to do,

916
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,720
Speaker 2: the hardest thing to do is sell tickets.

917
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, how would you describe your comedy though? For people

918
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: that don't know, I've seen him, you was, Yeah, Yeah,

919
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: that's that's why I wanted on the show.

920
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think my comedy is brilliant.

921
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: It for people that don't know who Lance was is.

922
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: How would you describe your type of comedy is.

923
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 2: It's it is high energy, intellectual warfare.

924
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: I like that.

925
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 2: That's how I view it. I'm trying to merge the

926
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 2: worlds of Tony Roberts and Dave Chappelle and find that

927
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 2: somewhere in the middle where you have this high energy,

928
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 2: can say any silly thing and also has some introspective,

929
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 2: thought provoking Damn, I ain't think about it like that

930
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 2: and try to mix all of that together. It's how

931
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 2: I view it. Yeah, I think I'm I think I'm

932
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 2: really entertaining because like I watch comedy and I can

933
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 2: break down. I understand comedy, so I can tell you, oh,

934
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 2: that's that. And there's some college that are really good

935
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 2: and they're boring. Yeah, and like I'll be watching myself

936
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 2: and I say, I just don't want to be boring.

937
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: I think that there's I think my rule with comedy

938
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: is that people I never say a comic is terrible.

939
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: I think that people laugh at what they can relate to.

940
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: I think that most people laugh at well, and there

941
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 1: are people that are just genuinely funny, but most people

942
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: laugh at what they can relate to. Yes, that's what

943
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: I've noticed.

944
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 2: Yes, and a great comic will make you laugh at

945
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 2: things you can't relate to it all.

946
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's they can get you to laugh. But I

947
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: noticed that I tend if I look at the comics

948
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: that I'm like totally like, I'm a fan of this

949
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: particular comic, this particular comic. It's comic that's somewhat there's

950
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 1: some kind of familial familiar.

951
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 2: Cularity to get the words where I go ahead.

952
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: But but I say that to say that because I

953
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: think there are comics that are genuinely funny, but to say, okay,

954
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: that comic needs to be a staple in my like yeah,

955
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: I want to continue. Yeah, I think there's got to

956
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: be a little bit more of a relationship with the

957
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: I can relate to the Bilberd's continual anger. I make

958
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 1: jokes around here all the time, like yo, I totally

959
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: relate to this guy and holding it in and then

960
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: you just randomly explode. I'm like, yo, I got you stop? Yeah,

961
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: or Sebastian, I keep foret I love it, but all

962
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: the toxic like anything toxic, sign me up like on that,

963
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: like Little Drain, I'm like, yo, I message you. But

964
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: I do still can appreciate all different types of comedy.

965
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: But I think even when I talk to other people,

966
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: it's like some people may like say Matt and be

967
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: like he's amazing, and it's okay. You probably find it

968
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: more relatable then yeah.

969
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think what's happened in entertainment is people like

970
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 2: the person more than the product, so they want to

971
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 2: relate to the person. Yeah, And it's once I'm locked

972
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 2: in with the person, whatever the product, I must support

973
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 2: it because I like the person. It's especially with the

974
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 2: social media age, it's like people are literally just falling

975
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 2: in love with the personality and don't even know what

976
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 2: you do. They don't know what you're a comedian, singer, dance.

977
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 2: They just know that they like you.

978
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, or they want to be I think with social media,

979
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: I think people tend to follow people they either want

980
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: to be like or don't. I still haven't grasped the

981
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: whole social media idolization because to me, it's like a

982
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: platform where you present whatever you want to present. It's

983
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: like a mirror. It's like a weird picture show. I

984
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: don't think there's a lot of authenticity there, but that's

985
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: where comedy is great, because there's a lot of authenticity.

986
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: For any fans that or comics that are trying to

987
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: look up to you, is that you have a phone on.

988
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 2: It's vibrating, it's down there.

989
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Before we close out, I would like

990
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: to see if you could give any advice to any comics,

991
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:58,960

00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,600

Speaker 1: And I could tell it meant a lot to you.

1023
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: It did. What advice would you give to someone, though, for.

1024
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 2: Real, if I gave a comedian advice. Advice is hard

1025
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 2: for me because it's too general. But what I will

1026
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 2: say is, when you starting off, do the things that

1027
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 2: you think are funny and not what you think other

1028
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 2: people will think is funny. That's one of the main

1029
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 2: things comic struggle with is day they try to do

1030
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 2: what they think people will find funny. Versus what you

1031
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,720
Speaker 2: just find funny, because the same way you said Bill

1032
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 2: Burr and the Anger, if you was like, people aren't

1033
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,959
Speaker 2: as angry as me, then you wouldn't even be able

1034
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 2: to be yourself because that's how your people find is

1035
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 2: by you being you. You know what I mean? If

1036
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 2: you go try to they already got a version of that.

1037
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 2: Just be But I also think comedy good. If you

1038
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,240
Speaker 2: a good comic, it'll teach you how to be yourself.

1039
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:16,439
Speaker 2: A lot of people don't know they.

1040
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: I think the comics are more funny when they're one

1041
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: hundred percent yeah themselves, like unexcusably is that the right word, unapologetic,

1042
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: unapologetically themselves, like.

1043
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 2: For sure, they are, for sure, But you gotta.

1044
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,240
Speaker 1: Even the ones you can't relate to are more funny

1045
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: when you're like, oh my gosh, you can't believe this

1046
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: comic thinks this way or what's funny?

1047
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 2: Right? I give everybody comic leeway for lack of a

1048
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 2: better time. There's comics that say things that I one

1049
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 2: hundred percent disagree with, but as a comic, he or

1050
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 2: she has that right to express that. My only, it's

1051
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 2: my only. It's a small request I'd be having just

1052
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 2: make it funny. There's a lot of stuff going on

1053
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: right now where it's just just for the shock or

1054
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 2: just its just make it funny what you talk about.

1055
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 2: Just make it funny. Yeah, that's it.

1056
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: That's it.

1057
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 2: That's it.

1063
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: think I did this brio bread and I was trying

1064
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: to was way too fancy. Bread was fancy.

1065

Speaker 2: Bed was way too fancuse.

1066
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,080

00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: Like I if I wasn't eating tacos before this.

1068

Speaker 2: It didn't mess it up.

1069
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,080

1070
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,080
